You can enter to win an iPad2, or one of two Kindle Fires! (Be sure to list As For My House as “who referred you” — then if you win, I win, too!)

Enter using the form below, but please note that this is RaffleCoptor’s giveaway, not mine. (So if you see this giveaway listed on another blog, or on the RaffleCoptor site, you are already entered!)

Our AT&T U-Verse Internet service decided that it wasn’t going to work anymore, and the saga of getting it fixed involved several days of delay and frustration.

As of now we are back online, though. So I guess I should get busy writing a “real” post!

I am trying to list As For My House on a few sites that have lists of blogs, so that hopefully more people who might be interested can find us. And many of them require a button.

So, given my lack of inspiration, time (prioritized for this type of time-intensive activity), and graphic design skill, I took the quick route: I cropped the graphic from our header, and scaled it into the proper dimensions.

It’s a button, at least.

But anyone who can do a better job is invited to come up with something! :)

First commenter was Lisa –

My favorite crafty thing was scrapbooking a book of memories for Jim’s grandma. She loves pictures, and I had fun creating the pages.

And for our Family Works DVD, the lucky number from Random.org was SEVEN… Which was… Lisa!!

No kidding!

The lucky lady will be receiving BOTH these DVDs in the mail from Franklin Springs very soon.

Congratulations, Lucky Lisa.

I really appreciate the “Networked Blogs” feature that allows me to publish all our blog posts to our Facebook news feeds, so you always know when there’s something new to read.

But I wanted to ask you a favor:

Please leave your comments here, on the blog itself.

When you leave a comment here, it is archived in my database, on my server, logically linked to the post which inspired it.

If you leave a comment on Facebook, it will soon scroll off the bottom of the page and simply be gone forever…

We enjoy hearing what you have to say, and many of your comments contain ideas that we’d like to save.

So, please, leave them here where I can keep them!
